This 1999 Pokémon Base Set Blastoise #2 features holographic artwork illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA, this example comes from the distinct Shadowless variation, distinguished by the lack of a drop shadow along the right side of the art frame, thinner font formatting for the hit points, and the inclusion of the 1998 date in the bottom copyright line. PSA reports 1,188 copies in this PSA 8 grade.
Produced during the initial English release by Wizards of the Coast, Shadowless cards represent a brief transitional print window between the 1st Edition run and the standard Unlimited production. As card #2 in the 102-card set, Blastoise features the iconic "Rain Dance" Pokémon Power alongside its 40+ damage "Hydro Pump" attack, solidifying its place alongside Charizard and Venusaur as one of the cornerstone fully evolved starter Pokémon from the original TCG era.Show more
